Hey guys,
This the only F150 forum I watch, so apologize for a non 2021 question. I had been eyeing the new model but also wasn’t opposed to finding a leftover deal on a 2019/2020, and that’s the direction I ended up going getting a 2019 Ruby Red limited. I had been leasing a 2018 Lariat with the 3.5 V6 previously. My questions with the high output high engine are..
1. Is there anything under the hood that’s visibly different to a non car guy other than the twin exhaust?
2. And for someone who’s driven both the stock 3.5 and the high output.. after watching a lot of reviews I was expecting to hit the gas and be ‘floored’ by the extra power, but honestly it doesn’t feel that much more powerful than my previous 3.5 ecoboost. With only a 100 miles I’m letting the engine break in a bit before really giving it some gas but definitely expected more zip just based on reviews. Is that about the same feeling others have/had when driving each one?
Thanks!!
